Man United's Marcus Rashford starts for England U20s in Canada defeat

Rashford, 18 -- who had scored the only goal against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium seven days earlier -- set up England's goal for Chelsea's Kasey Palmer on his debut at U20 level.

Earlier, the Canadians had taken a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Kadin Chung and Marco Bustos.

Rashford, whose picture was on the front of the matchday programme, started the game and had his name cheered by the home fans when it was read out over the PA.

England under-20 manager Keith Downing said the experience of playing for his side would be "part of the learning process" for Rashford.

He told the official FA website: "He's marked closely, and then there's the expectancy. He's suddenly in an England shirt and all the interest is with him. So it's all part of his development to continue learning and gaining experience.

"There was speculation about whether he was going to be in this squad or the U21s, but we feel it is better for him to be slowly integrated into the U20s."
